port : 5191

and its working like a charm, i dont really recall what were the default settings.... can u verify yours ?

I had the same problem and changing the port from the default 5190 allows me to to connect now. Many thanks.

Yes, the default port 5190, I am told, is blocked by the local ISP. I have been using Port 13 for several years, now and it works fine.

However, I am not able a/v chat and get the infamous "insufficient bandwidth, blah blah blah…" error message. I have checked various support forums and help sites and tried all the suggestions without any luck.

Anybody else here facing similar issues? I think the problem is with the ISP not enabling the QOS technology or something to that effect.

Sorry to hear that iDubai. If we're going to help further I think we need some more information from you (see my earlier questions, for example).
